Hey everyone, I know it's been a long time since I filmed a video for the Truth or Territory channel and I just wanted to do this for those of you who are sort of live a long ways away from Sandpoint, Idaho and you have never been to our facility, never really seen the inside of our facility.
00:14
I kind of wanted to give you a quick walkthrough to show you all that has been done and progress that has been made here and what this looks like so you can see what it is that we are building here.
00:22
First, thank you to those of you who have bought the book Truth or Territory as well as the other books on the Stairway to Heaven and even the
00:28
Prosperity of the Wicked which is the new one that has come out. All of the proceeds for those books go to help us finish this building and us to get into this new facility.
00:37
So before I give you kind of a tour, just a couple of things. You're going to notice a lot of furniture and office equipment and stuff laying around here.
00:44
It's because this is the only place we have to store some of that stuff until we can occupy. And the other thing is you're going to notice a lot of construction garbage and a lot of construction tools around here.
00:52
So just pardon our mess, but I'm going to give you a quick walkthrough. This is the south end of our building here and it's the main entryway into the facility here.
00:58
We have two doors. And then off to my right, you'll see is the office area. And this is the area that I filmed the last video in since we were in here.
01:08
Last time with that last video, we got some doors hung and finished and carpet down on the floors.
01:13
You can see down the hallway there, there's a bathroom and a couple of offices on the right and a storage facility. This is our storage room.
01:19
This is our church library here, shelves in there. You've seen some of that on Facebook. And off to this on the west side of the building is our
01:30
Sunday school classroom area. We have two classrooms over here. This one is being used currently to store a lot of office supply stuff in and a
01:38
Sunday school equipment that was a lot of Iwana cabinets in there. That before too long is going to get some carpet down on the floor.
01:45
This is the room here that I carpeted recently. It's a corner Sunday school room. And across the hallway is our nursery.
01:57
Now this window here, it's going to eventually look out into the sanctuary so people inside the nursery and this classroom here will be able to see what's going on inside the nursery while they're taking care of kids and attending to their own kids.
02:08
And then off to his side is sort of the main entryway to the nursery and you can see the mural that exists on the wall over here. Some of you have seen those pictures on Facebook.
02:24
It's truly a sight to behold. There's a storage closet here, access to the upstairs, which we're locking off now, hopefully occupy the downstairs.
02:40
You can see in the ceiling the HVAC has been done, the sprinkler system has been done, all the
02:46
T -bar ceiling and the lights have been installed here in the foyer. On the east side of the building is two bathrooms over here, men's, women's, and then a janitor custodial closet over there.
02:59
You'll be able to see inside the men's bathroom, the tile work that has been done. This is completely done for fixtures.
03:10
Then over here we have another access to the upstairs and a storage closet. This is our sanctuary on the north end of the building.
03:25
Off in this corner over here we have an adult Sunday school classroom and then this room here will eventually be, is our kitchen.
03:35
We got tile going in there probably this next week. And then this big window for serving coffee and donuts and everything else to dry and unbelievers as part of our new secret sensor effort.
03:48
You know I'm joking about that. So yeah, adult Sunday school class over here.
03:55
Up here is our stage. In the ceiling area here, right below these pipes that you see above me, there will be a suspended ceiling in here with lights in it and that'll be the lid for this area.
04:09
So our three next big projects are in here, our heating and air conditioning, it'll go in here and then after that the ceiling grid work and then all of the electrical and lights and then put the lid, insulate and put the tiles in and then this room will be almost ready for occupancy.
04:24
We don't need to put down flooring just yet, we're meeting in an area with just concrete floors right now and we can do the same here.
04:31
So those are the windows there that look into the nursery area that I showed you from the other side. Upstairs we've got a
04:37
Sunday school classroom over here, Sunday school classrooms at the south end and then back in that corner over there above that office area is a conference room and we're not finishing that just yet because we don't need to finish that in order to occupy it.
04:57
They gave us permission to finish the downstairs and occupy that before we actually start working on the upstairs.
05:03
So we want to finish this, get this done and move in and then we can turn our attention on finishing the upstairs.
05:08
So that is our facility, we've got a tremendous amount done in the last year. Thank you to all of you who have given and supported making this possible both locally and of course across the country.
05:20
We're very grateful for that and our goal is to be in here by the end of this year, 2017. That's kind of our goal.
05:27
We have a few big projects to do and the rest of it is just finished work and details. So thank you for your support, thank you for your prayers and this has been our facility.
